Forex Trade performance in pips correct?

[forexki]

Hello, I used the Trade performance in NT8 with setting Pips. When I display trade list I ask by myself how NT8 calculate pips because I opne the EURJPY entry price 132.592 and closed the EURJPY with 133.434 which are in the Forex market +84.2 Pips BUT the performance overview shows 831,35 Pips Profit which cannot be correct or?

It seems that in NT8 the pip calcuation did not distinguish between pair wtih 3 and 5 digits.

Correct would be the formula with EURJPY (133,434 – 132, 592)*100 = 84,2 Pips

and for EURGBP (0,87254 – 0,87359)*1000 = 94,53 Pips

The problem in NT8 seems to be that you calculate for Pips ALL pairs with *1000 including the */JPY pairs which are having only 3 digits and not 5 digits.

It seems that only the currency pairs are correct calculated, with the 5 digits (for the pip performance). The $ amound or € amount calculation is correct.
